I trained as an internist and now dedicate my career to advanced care planning and treatment of symptoms in patients suffering from advanced illness. I work closely with other specialists to make sure no patient is ever without options during the most difficult times of their illness.
I earned my medical degree at the St. Luke’s / Temple School of Medicine and completed a residency in internal medicine at the Hershey Medical Center. I am fluent in Spanish and Spanish Creole and have conducted research in Spanish-language healthcare outreach.
When not working, I enjoy music, literature and athletics, especially rock climbing, soccer and hiking. I am also a volunteer firefighter.
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions from our nationally recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of St. Luke’s University Health Network.
